A friend of mine won a photography competition, she gets a photographer to shoot her wedding for free,
However the photographer has been diagnosed with Epilepsy and now cannot do the wedding.
I’m a photographer myself but i haven’t heard anything about this.
I guess it would depend on the terms and conditions of the competition, but can only assume that the winner is still entitled to the prize, even with a different photographer at the expense of the competition organiser.
Any professional wedding photographer (or any photography) should have proper insurance, just in case they are unable to perform the duty.
I know it might heard not to good, but i will ask to proof it he can do it. This is an answer for other topic why choose pro photographer!
Even if it happends to me (:) i have insurance and back-up photographer (similar style), so couples are safe.
